Canon C200 Pros:

The C200 has a ton of pros, a large pro would be its ability to shoot raw. Shooting raw is not necessary for wedding videography, but it is a nice option to have. At the time of writing this article Adobe Premiere Pro now supports Cinema Raw Light. We have been a little reluctant to shoot raw at weddings because of the post workflow. Since we can now edit .crm files directly in Premeire Pro, it should speed up the workflow significantly and allow us to shoot more of it. Clog is also a very welcomed feature. There is a noticeable difference in terms of dynamic range (even in 8bit) when filmed in Clog vs the 1DX mark ii. I really like that this camera has built in XLR ports. The bump in audio quilty is greatly appreciated. The built in ND filters are wonderful feature. With wedding videography we find our selves shooting in harsh sunlight often. Being able to have ND filters at the push of a button is a huge pro. The .mp4 codec is wonderful on this camera. The files look incredibly clean and they are very manageable. They are easy files to work with and we are not bringing home over 500 gb of data after a wedding like we are with the 1DX. The EVF on this camera is great. Having the ability to check all of your settings in the broad daylight is awesome. The EVF is incredibly sharp and we are overall very impressed with the EVF on this camera. The articulating touch screen Canon LM-V1 is really nice. This is the first cinema camera that offers the ability to touch to pull focus with DPAF. I know a lot of filmmakers are reluctant to use auto focus, but DPAF has become a huge part of our workflow and we use it often! It is one of the reasons we have stuck with Canon through the years. In my opinion it is a powerful tool for run and gun style filmmaking and wedding videography. The new focus assist is incredible and makes manually focusing a breeze, We prefer it to focus peaking, and the 1DX has neither focus assist or focus peaking built in. The ability to customize every button on this camera is a big pro. Most cameras offer some form of customization, but this camera just has so many buttons and you can really dive into the custom settings and make this camera fit for your style of shooting.

Canon C200 Cons:

The biggest con from this camera is it lacks a decent codec in-between 8bit .mp4 & Cinema Raw Light. We would have really liked to see a 10bit XF-AVC codec that you can find on cameras like C300 mark ii. We personally do not need 10bit when shooting weddings, but it would be really nice. Some would prefer that codec over having Cinema Raw Light. Every C200 owner is crossing their fingers that canon gives us 10 bit color in a future firmware upgrade, but all we can do now is hope. (Edit: the firmware update never came) Because of the EVF, it is not the best camera to mount onto gimbals. The C200B is a much better option for gimbal work, but I have not seen many videos where the C200 has been balanced properly on anything but a Movi Pro  (Edit: C200 & C200 B will balance just fine on a Ronin S) Something I noticed that I did not like immediately when I first started testing out the camera is not having the ability to change the aperture, ISO & shutter speed with your right hand on the grip (GR-V1) like you can with most DSLR's. There is only one dial on the grip that we set to ISO as we change our ISO more often that aperture or shutter speed. You have to swing your left hand around to the bottom of the camera and spin a dial to adjust the aperture (if you are using EF glass) Was not a fan at first, but it is really not a huge issue. Coming from DSLRs, being able to control all your settings from your right hand was a luxury. The size can be a pro or con for some people. We personally like the ergonomics. Although, the C200 is bigger, heavier and a bit clunkier when compared to a small mirrorless or DSLR cameras and something you should keep in mind. The added weight allows for more decent looking handheld shots. It should be noted that the face tracking auto focus on the 1DX is far better than the C200. On the 1DX mark ii you can tap on just about anything and it will lock on and track that subject. The C200 you have to tap a button on the camera before tapping the screen. If you want the focus to track a different subject you have to hit the button again before tapping the new subject. This took some getting use to. The C200 face detection auto focus tends to perform poorly in low light situations. I think it is safe to say that the 1DX auto focusing system is overall better. It should also be noted that shooting in raw there tends to be more noise in the shadows. This isn't just a canon thing, but more so a common issue when working with raw files from most cinema camera. To combat this we found over exposing slightly will help retain shadow detail. As wedding videographers we often find ourselves in less than ideal lighting situations, so If there are a lot of shadows in our scene we usually shoot in 8bit because it is less noisy.
